Lorna Fitzsimons, The Pipeline's Co-Founder, explains on Sky News that progress on FTSE 350 gender diversity has regressed, despite a positive link between women in senior roles and business performance. She says, "In this low growth economy, you cannot rule out the gain, that having a better balance on your Executive Committee brings your organisation."

What Senior Executives Say

‘Working with The Pipeline has also helped us think, as a company, about how we can support more women in reaching the highest levels.’

Janet Burr, HR Director, Thames Water Utilities

‘FTSE 350 companies with more women on their Executive Committees perform better financially. It is therefore concerning that the percentage of women on Executive Committees has stagnated…companies will have to do more to meet the Government’s target of 33% by 2020.’
